Details

The objective here is to look in detail at how the classical American pragmatists saw themselves in relation to idealism. We will also trace the continuing development of this connection through into the twentieth century, as reflected in the work of figures such as Sellars, Apel, Habermas, Putnam, Rorty and Brandom.

Registration to attend the workshop is not required. There will be a buffet lunch and refreshments provided on both days for £9.50 per person per day. However, you are welcome to bring your own lunch and drink if you prefer. Registration for lunch and the workshop dinner at a local restaurant (for £13 per person) on Friday night are available here. The deadline to register for lunch and/or dinner is 14th October.
